America "a 1t Had Been Painted.

Broadway, in the vicinity OF the Morton
house, presents a strange appearance these
DAVIS. Buffalo Bil's scouts and Indians and
the inhabitants Of the Aztec village, all of
whom are appearing in New York at present,
flock down TO the Morton house to meet their
fellow professionals, and it is no uncommon
thing TO see $50 or 200 men clothed in buck
skins. serapes and sombreros, and armed with
everything from bows and arrows TO Colts
42-caIibre revolvers. paradng up and down
the street over distance of mile or so. One
night short time ago Lord Kinwaddie, the
eldest son of the Earl of Bucleuch, arrived in
New York direct from England and put up
at the Union Square hotel. 1t was his inten-
ton TO write a book on America refutng all
the errors which his countrymen, who had
done likewise, had made, and which he was
told did rank injustice 10 the country He
had never been here before and his time was
limited. but he intended TO correct the gross
ignorance of his countrymen regarding the
lawlessness Of America.
He awoke at 10 the next morning and,
after partaking of breakfast, he stroled out
on the street. The first sight that met his as
tonshed British gaze was a strapping sun
burned scout known as the Bad Man from
Bodie," who plays the light comedy roles in
Buffalo Bills play. The Bad Man had
Henry repeating rife on bis shoulder and a
huge bowie knife protruding from his boot.
While his lordship was gasping with aston
ishment at the apparition a troupe of half
naked Aztec Indians in full war paint came
eallopng down the street, whOoping for all
tbey ware worth Looking still further he
beheld long vistas Of armed men in all man
ner of barbaric costumes, until his brain
reeled and he staggered into the hotel in a
fainting condition. an hour later his waller
took the following cablegram TO the office:
ITO BUCLEUCH, London-An that has
been said about America is true VIII return

A naturalized citizen Of the United
States, who was once a native German,
undertook to visit the pleasant scenes OF
boyhood's happy hour, when suddenly he
was seized and put in the army. Since
then he has been signing in vain for the
free land of his adoption, where the
citizen sovereign need not be a soldier
unless he likes the ornamental part of a
militia parade. The question is, can this
mighty nation afford to get wrothy about
Canadian fish and keep ceol about this
outraged citizen. In the same cOnnec-
ton let us ponder on the size of the Ger
man army, and reflect on the fantastic
character of war with Germany and
one of our own citizens fighting
against us.

All Tor "a suppose.

in a conversation drifting toward the many
wise provisions Of nature, the Rev. Mr..
Maxwell said: The other day in my intel
lectual excursions, | came across a wonder
fully sensible paper treating OF the use of
snakes. The long black snake is especially
useful He goes into the dense swamps,
worms himself among the reeds and flags and
devours thousands Of scorpions and lizards,
which, without his timely interference, would
become too numerous SO, you see, every
thing, even the black snake is useful, being
created for a purpose"
"That is all very well, one of the reverend
gentleman's listeners replied. I'VE recognize
the usefulness of the snake because he de-
YOURS scorpions and lizards. but of what
use, pray tell me, are the scorpions and
lizards"
'They eat innumerabe insects, " the minister
trilmphantly replied
"All right; but of what use are the in
sectsl
"The insectsl Why, er-they serve as food
for the lizards"
Eyes; but Of what use are the lizards"
"Why, you must be blind not TO see that
they serve as food for the snakes"
"Of course / see that, but that only brings
up the question Of what use are the snakesP
"To eat the lizards, | tell you. My dear
sir" the minister added, 1T is not strange
that philosophy advances so slowly when we
think of mans narrowness of understand

Wchear that afew-happily very few
business. houses in Richmond make a
point of asking travelling statesmen II
they pay their license tax in coupons OF
in money, and If the answer is that they
pay in coupons, they decline to buy from
such statesmen. This is no more nor less
than boycotting, which, in other forms
the community and the law all
over the country have decided against
The law of the land permits
the payment of license taxes or direct
taxes in coupons, and every man has a
right to exercise this privilege if he
pleases, and to place this sort Of compul-
sion on citizen to make him give up a
legal right is to boycott him.
No man who will do this to the sample
merchant can complain if the Knights of
Labor boycott him. If this thing is con-
tinued, we shall do what we can to cause
those who detest the boycott to cease
dealing with houses that try to boycott
drummers who pay with coupons.

Mature Is a compensating mistress She
often makes hunchbacks witty, and thus dis
tiueuisbcs them above better formed men,
Moses Mcndelssohn, tn, philosopher, was thus
deformed. and the vittiest OF men. Fred
erick III of Prussia, who was fond OF gather
ing about him literary men, artists ana sing
ers. frequently invited Mendelssohn to the
small suppers he gave at the palace.
In those days Germany was cut up into
number OF small kingdoms and dukedonls, the
petty sovereigns of which were naughty in
proportion 90 the smalness of their realms.
An ambassador of one OF these small kings
happened TO be present at one OF Frederick
suppers. when Mendelssohn sat by the kings
side
The proud ambassador tried to chat the
little hunchback, who, with his quick wit,
turned the tables at once upon his adversary.
The ambassador subsequently made formal
complaint to the king against admitting the
plebaian into the royal circle
"Mendelssohn was my guest as you were,
answered the king "As you provoked him,
you should be willing to accept the conse-
quences."
ooh, he is man of no breeding; he would
offend your majesty, if heimagined that your
majesty had offended him"
mo, he will not oEend me-" replied the
king. 81 would never give him q reason for

paper, 'Mendelssohn is one ass, and sign 1t

curiosity TO see how the matter would end
persuaded him TO write the paper. The even

paper laid on Mendelssohns plate, and the
other guests, informed Of the trial, assembled,

The people would like to see the inves-

before Congress adjourns There is
scarcely page in history so full of cor

The following is an extract from Mayor
Hewitts letter to the Young Mems Dem
ocratic Club of Brooklyn
"Within the last five years a secret or
ganization has been growing in strength
and power which seeks 10 enslaYe the Ia
Dor Of this country, and make it subject
to the irresponsible dominion Of men
known to the people, who are not officers
chosen by the people, and who are not
creatures Of law, responsible TO free pub
lie opinion and TO the constituted authOri-
ties for their action Gradually the lead
ers Of this body have succeeded in stamp
ing out all personal independence Of the
part of a large number of Workmen Of
the country by refusing TO permit any
persons TO earn living who are not al
filiated with this secret organization. In
this way the workmen have been CO
creed into blind obedience to ire
spOnsible power, and the condition of
those who have tried to remain outside of
the organization is in many cases truly
pitiable They are called by opprObious
names, are hunted down from shop to
shop and denied employment on the fear
full penalty of stopping all work, how
ever pressing and important. This is ty-
ranny, against which the Democratic
party has ever struggled, and which it
must now confront and denounce in no
mistaken terms. II is true that Demo
Gratis holding very high positions have
coquetted with this new and dangerous
element in politics, and even attained of
flee by submitting to the humiliation OF
an apparent endorsement of the false and
dangerous doctrines which have been
put in practice at such = fearful cost in
our midst within the present month. In
less the Democratic party shall, and at
once, absolutely disown and condemn all
organizations which seek to place the
individual under any other control than
that of the law and deprive the citizen of
his right to free action, it will perish as
it ought to do; and desire on this occa-
sion to emphasize this issue as one to
which you and your fellow members
shall direct your attention, in the hope
that the next State Convention and the
next National Convention will condemn,
as Washington condemned, all secret
organizations which undertake to usurp
the functions Of the law and destroy the
free agency OF the citizen"

Mr.. Joseph Bryan writes good letter
to show why he pays taxes in coupons.
The letter was not necessary to vindi-
cate that gentleman's patriotism and
sound principles; but it does good in vim
dicating the rapidly-increasing number
of people who pay taxes in that way in
the recognized obligations of the State
intended for that purpose; and the time
is not very far distant when it will be the
rule and not the exception, for much
more Is involved in 1t than honestly saw
ing money, and this is the vindication of
the citizens right to act under the laws
OF his country sacred right that every
good citizen is interested in upholding.
